Computer monitor innovation has been fairly stagnant the last few years. Around 2005 we saw the transition from 4:3 aspect ratio LCDs shift to 16:10 and then 16:9 aspect ratios. Higher end LCD technology, like IPS panels, have become more common place and modern digital connectivity like DisplayPort and HDMI are also common now.

Dell is dipping their toes into a new body of water with the UltraSharp U2913WM. The 29-inch screen size isn’t yet common — most displays this size are 27-inch or 30-inch LCDs — and the 21:9 aspect ratio is odd, or up-and-coming, depending on who you ask. You get the same vertical resolution as a common 1080p display, but significantly more horizontal real estate resulting in a 2560×1080 resolution.

The U2913WM uses an IPS display, supports 99% coverage of the sRGD color space, and comes factory color-calibrated. It also comes loaded to the gills with features like DisplayPort 1.2, Mini DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, VGA, and a four-port USB 3.0 hub. The stand is adjustable via tilt, swivel, and height.

While some might question the need for an ultra-wide monitor like this, a single high-quality display would actually work better than dual displays for many users. You only have one stand that takes up desk space, one set of cords to manage, and fewer hardware requirements from your PC (especially laptop users).

Topping off this entire package is Dell’s 3 year advance exchange warranty, meaning they send you a replacement monitor for warranty service and you return yours in their pre-paid box. It also has a Premium Panel guarantee, ensuring they will exchange the panel if even one bright pixel is found during the 3-year warranty period.

While this is definitely a premium display, considering the wealth of features and high-end technology, the price is actually quite reasonable. It’s even better after our 10% coupon code!
